At Unventured, we believe that true travel is about the journey, not just the destination—a personal exploration along the road less traveled. This spirit inspires every adventure we curate.

This Dasara, we celebrate Mysuru’s rich heritage, commemorating the triumph of good over evil—when Goddess Chamundi defeated Mahishasura, bringing prosperity and joy to Mahisuru (now Mysuru).

Experience the magic of Mysuru Dasara, a vibrant 10-day festival where the city comes alive. From bustling bazaars and traditional wrestling matches to homes adorned with intricately arranged “Gombe” (Doll) displays, every corner radiates joy and tradition, as locals unite to celebrate the legendary victory of Chamundeshwari over Mahishasura.
